You can change the older cars over with a proper drill bit and a hand-held drill (it is just aluminum and you're only removing the threads in the bellhousing)

I changed 4 starters in a month on my old '83 Omni (got a run of bad starters). It is a royal pain, but it can be done. I used a couple of extensions and a u-joint that we braced by wrapping it up in duct tape. Sure made me appreciate the new starter arrangement when I swapped in a newer 2.2 HO engine and 5 speed transaxle.
